**A Father’s Final Song: Ozzy’s Sons Sing Him Home**
No one at Highgate Cemetery expected the quietest moment of the ceremony to be the most powerful. As the morning fog hung low and the casket sat still under a grey sky, Ozzy Osbourne’s two sons—Louis and Jack—stepped forward, each holding a microphone. Known for keeping their lives mostly out of the spotlight, their presence was both surprising and deeply moving.
They didn’t speak at first. Just a glance between them, and then the soft strum of an acoustic guitar broke the silence. Louis began singing “Changes,” the ballad Ozzy once recorded with his daughter Kelly—this time reborn as a farewell between sons and father. Jack’s voice, raw and trembling, joined in. They weren’t trained performers. Their harmonies cracked, but every word was heavy with truth.
“Time’s just a melody… but you’ll always be our song.”
Those final lines drifted into the still air as pallbearers gently lifted the coffin. Sharon Osbourne, overcome with grief, clutched Kelly to her chest. The two women sobbed openly, their sorrow mirrored in the faces of everyone present. Many stood frozen, tears falling freely, as the song faded into memory.
In that single moment, Ozzy was no longer the wild icon, the bat-biting, stage-raging rock star. He was simply *Dad*—a man who had sung his children to sleep, who had struggled and fought for redemption, who had made mistakes, but never stopped loving.
The voices of his sons—once young boys watching their father command arenas—now carried him gently, not with fireworks, but with fragile love. The final notes weren’t loud, but they were lasting.
As the casket disappeared beneath the earth, what remained wasn’t silence. It was a song. A family’s song. Ozzy’s
final encore.
